Di Calcium Phosphate

Dicalcium Phosphate is often added to livestock feed, such as poultry feed and pig feed, to ensure that the animals are getting the necessary nutrients to support their health and growth. Dicalcium phosphate, often abbreviated as DCP, plays a crucial role in the nutrition of cattle and various other livestock. It is a vital ingredient in animal feed formulations due to its high calcium and phosphorus content, which are essential for the growth, development, and overall health of cattle. It is commonly used as a mineral supplement in animal feed to ensure that livestock, particularly cattle, receive the appropriate levels of these essential nutrients.

Description

About the Product

Dicalcium phosphate is a calcium phosphate compound primarily composed of calcium and phosphorus. DCP is a powder feed grade Di calcium phosphate with good phosphorus digestibility. In the context of cattle feed, it is typically used as a nutritional additive to balance the calcium and phosphorus ratios in their diets. Feed grade dicalcium phosphate can be produced from various sources, including bone base and rock base. 

Dicalcium phosphate has other additional benefits such as : 

  • Contains no free acid, does not interfere with other feed ingredients
  • Contains a minimum of undesirable elements
  • It has consistent quality
  • Easy and safe to use

Applications & Uses of DCP

Dicalcium Phosphate has wide applications to stimulate growth in ruminants & other farm animals like : 

  • From birth to mating, milking, production etc., the animals need essential nutritional value to stimulate growth which is nicely compensated by DCP
  • The fodder they eat fails to fulfil the essential nutrient requirement for growth so they need additional supplementation 
  • Bone and Teeth Health: It supports the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth in cattle, reducing the risk of skeletal disorders
  • Reproductive Health: Adequate levels of calcium and phosphorus are critical for successful breeding and reproduction in cattle.
  • Milk Quality: For dairy cattle, dicalcium phosphate contributes to improved milk quality and higher production rates.
  • Overall Growth and Performance: DCP plays a pivotal role in the overall growth, vitality, and performance of cattle, leading to healthier and more productive herds.

Some key uses of DCP are 

  • Bone Health: Cattle require a sufficient supply of calcium and phosphorus for the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth. Dicalcium phosphate ensures that these minerals are readily available to support bone health in growing and mature cattle.
  • Milk Production: In dairy cattle, the demand for calcium and phosphorus is particularly high during lactation. DCP helps meet this demand, ensuring optimal milk production and quality.

Growth and Reproduction: Adequate calcium and phosphorus levels are essential for the proper growth of young cattle and for reproductive functions in breeding animals. Dicalcium phosphate contributes to the overall health and vitality of the herd.
